Social media platforms like Tik Tok and Instagram have hyper-prioritized looking our best on camera. When people spend excessive amounts of time looking at themselves, they become more self-conscious and obsess over their flaws. In addition to the stress of someone picking apart their flaws, posts are also open to public comments from strangers. One of the easiest ways to feel better about how someone feels about the way they look on camera is through mewing. Some of the largest benefits of mewing as a young adult include a more shapely jawline and improved alignment of the chin and nose.
What is Mewing?
Mewing is the practice of flattening the tongue against the roof of the mouth. This technique retrains the mouth muscles to more optimal resting positions. By doing this technique regularly, young adults and people concerned about their appearance can enjoy several aesthetic benefits.
Benefits of Mewing for Young Adults
Two of the primary benefits of mewing also align with common complaints people have about their faces in pictures and videos. People want a more shapely jawline and a more symmetrical face. By being more mindful of how someone holds their facial muscles, they can create better habits and improve the appearance of their face.
More Shapely Jawline
The primary benefit of mewing is improved jaw shape. One of the biggest pain points for content creators and people posting pictures of themselves on social media is how they look. When it comes to headshots, everyone focuses on their face.
Some of the focus points on the face that can be mitigated with a more shapely jawline include:
- Jowls
- Double chin
- Facial roundedness
Improved Alignment of the Chin and Nose
People also notice the alignment of their chin and nose in pictures and videos. Mewing can help improve these complaints by retraining their facial muscles. Making it a habit to hold your tongue at the roof of your mouth forces you to align your upper and lower jaws.
